For Sale: Holdsworth 1967 shop special road frame

I am selling my Holdsworth road frame. I originally bought it from HilaryStone and here is the original listing:

HOLDSWORTH SHOP SPECIAL ROAD FRAME 1967 Nervex Pro
Seat Tube (ctt): 57cm (22.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in)
Rear dropout width: 125mm
Wheel size: Sprints/700C (brake drop 53mm)
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted
The F W Holdsworth shop in Putney not only sold the range of stock Holdsworth frames but also built special frames to order. This frame was built to order in late 1967 with Nervex Pro lugs and fork crown - it’s a very unusual combination for Holdsworth who at the time preferred the Italian style Prugnat single point lugs. Its a very attractive frame - I am not certain whether the paint is original or an older repaint which in very good condition with just some smallish marks. It will make a very easy singlespeed or fixed conversion. £125 SOLD

It is now up for sale for £100 but included in the price are the Campag headset I fitted and also a Campag BB (without bearings).

This is what it looked like set up:

And the photos below give an indication of the condition of the frame now.

There are a few chips to the paint, back to bare metal around the seat cluster. No dents, dings or rust to speak of.

The frame is in Brighton and you can either pick up locally, or I can deliver it to London for £10. Alternatively if you can meet me at Clapham I will be coming through there in the near future.

Dibs and PMs please.

That's lovely, does it have any bottle bosses?

Nope.

It has mudguard mounts but other than that it has no bosses. It makes it nice and neat for a conversion or would look rad with chrome clamp on cable guides.

haha, selling yours too at the same time ;)

Now sold

Oh crudsticks, was just about to stick my nose in.

Very nice who ever got it. I like how it looks built up too.

If the sale falls through, or if the new owner wants to pass it on in the future, please let me know.

ps. What is the wheel build you have going on there? Looking for something similar myself.

The wheels are Formula hubs to destickered Open Sports. They're currently on my 'clubman' touring conversion Don't have any plans to split them off right now.
